Vitamin B - transamination

B6 - pyridoxal phosphate - transamination

Site- liver and kidney

Transaminase transfers amino group from an amino acid to alpha keto glutarate thereby converting amino acid to to alpha keto glutarate and alpha keto glutarate into amino acid.

Usually glutamate and alpha keto glutarate participate in this

Serine and threonine are metabolized by deamination. others are by transamination
